Suddenly Became a Princess One Day
Kareshi ni Donhiki Saretai Minamoto-san
Horimiya
I love this manga btw, believe me, I'm obsessed. Problems I kinda found tho: 1. Homophobia?? - Hori-san being, "Idc if he cheats with a woman now, but a MAN?!" Or that moment when they were just discussing how Miyamura might go well with another guy and Miyamura goes, "I don't think our personalities would match." And hori goes, "that's the first thing you think about? Not the fact you're both men?" I mean, I see the comedic intent but these joke don't sit right with me. 2. Normalization of women hitting men - I MEAN IT'S FINE TO AN EXTENT. Obviously it's funny at first and it has great comedic effect, but I feel like it's a bit too much. I kinda feel bad for the guys here, they're really being considerate. 3. Hori-San's Character - I loved her a lot at the beginning: popular girl = friendly + reliable + doesn't judge ppl by appearance, that's why she was able to form a bond wit Miyamura. But over time, seeing her character reduced to a tsundere that screams all the time, overly-emotional, and hits Miyamura and others way TOO OFTEN is disappointing. I've always thought that she'd be less screamy and violent especially since she's been portrayed as this responsible sister that was able to endure not hanging out woth friends to take care of Sota. She can still be hot-headed and a bit heavy handed, and a grrat example of that would be her mother. She was gentle and nice but we do see that she also had the tendency to hit people, but at least with enough reason. One scene that irked me was when she freaked out about Miyamura piercing hir ears. Yes, I get it. Fear of seeing ppl you care bout piercing and getting hurt, "treasure yourself" I guess? (Piercings aren't bad unless you're doing it to hurt yourself like a bad coping mechanism) but the way she handled it was so off the handle. She threw a tantrum. A tantrum. Could've at least idk, talked it out? Asked? Or at least just sulked and pouted, that's better than locking herself in and screaming AND accidentally hitting Miyamura with a door which caused his ear to bleed. I just really loved Hori at the beginning since she was this typical highschooler with good grades, reliable, friendly, has familial values, and isn't particular about appearance. Now she's just kinda like the fls I dislike and cringe on, exploding like a bomb every chapter for the littlest of things. Props to Miyamura for being able to handle her. I don't mind her degrading kink I guess (no kink shaming), but sometimes consider your partner's feelings, Miyamura was mostly forced on it. It's obvious she treasures her a lot.
